In a \(p\)-type semiconductor the donor level is at \(50 \mathrm{meV}\) above the valence band. To produce one electron, the maximum wavelength of light photon required is (Planck's constant, \(h=6.6 \times 10^{-34} \mathrm{Js}\) and speed of light in vacuum, \(c=3 \times 10^8 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\) )

  1. A \(0.0248 \mu \mathrm{m}\)
  2. B \(0248 \mu \mathrm{m}\)
  3. C \(2.48 \mu \mathrm{m}\)
  4. D \(24.8 \mu \mathrm{m}\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(0.0248 \mu \mathrm{m}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, \(p\)-type semiconductor donor energy level, \(E=50 \mathrm{meV}=50 \times 10^{-3} \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \mathrm{~V}\) Planck's constant, \(h=6.6 \times 10^{-34} \mathrm{Js}\) speed of light in vacuum, \(c=3 \times 10^8 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\) Now, for the maximum…
